The Coo Coo Bird - Steve Forbert

Oh, the coo-coo, she’s a pretty bird

And she wobbles as she flies

But she never hollers coo-coo

Till the fourth day of July

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

(Um…ya)

Gonna build me log cabin

On a mountain so high

So I can see Willie

When he goes passing by

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

Well, I’ve played cards in England

Hell, I’ve played cards in Spain

I’ll bet you ten dollars

I can beat you next game

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

Jack-a-Diamonds, Jack-a-Diamonds

I’ve known you from old

You’ve robbed my poor pockets

Of my silver and my gold

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

The coo-coo is a pretty bird, she’s a pretty bird

(Um…ya)
